Bowler Glen Chapple has withdrawn from England's [Images] one-day squad because of an abdominal muscle strain, officials said on Thursday. Chapple was returning to his club, Lancashire, for treatment and would be replaced by Worcestershire's Kabir Ali, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.
Chapple suffered the injury during England's win over Ireland on Tuesday when he made his one-day international debut.

A fitness test on Thursday showed he had not recovered sufficiently to play in the Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka [Images] in Southampton later on Thursday or the opening games of the five-match one-day series, which starts on Saturday."Obviously it's very disappointing for Glen but everyone hopes that after receiving the right treatment at Lancashire he'll be able to rejoin the squad and play a part in the latter stages," England's chairman of selectors, David Graveney, said.
